White Stout A Unique Fusion of Tradition and Innovation

At Nethergate, we’re all about being Traditionally Different. We see ourselves as guardians of a cherished British cask legacy – our hearts beat for the traditional cask beers: those deep, dark-roasted stouts, the timeless English bitters, and the mellow sessionable milds. Over the decades, we’ve poured our passion into perfecting these classic brews, bringing joy to traditional cask drinkers across the nation in our range of champion beers.

But we’re not ones to rest on our laurels. We know that tastes evolve, preferences change, and we thrive on the thrill of innovation and adventure. That’s why we’re always on the lookout for new ways to excite both our loyal patrons and those eager to explore the ever-expanding world of cask beer.

Our latest creation, White Stout, is the epitome of our Traditionally Different approach. It’s a beer that pays homage to our roots with its rich and creamy profile, reminiscent of the stouts that have stood the test of time. But there’s a big twist – it’s as pale as a summer’s day, defying expectations and inviting drinkers on a journey of discovery.

With White Stout, we’ve brewed something truly special: a beer that traditionalists will savour for its depth and complexity, while also capturing the imagination of those seeking the next big thing in cask ale. It’s a testament to our commitment to tradition, our love for innovation, and our dedication to keeping the cask category vibrant and exciting.

So, whether you’re a staunch traditionalist or a daring explorer of new flavours, discover the taste of White Stout and embrace the unexpected!

How Does It Taste – Embrace the Unexpected

Discover a revelation in brewing with our White Stout—a mesmerising oxymoron that challenges expectations. This luxurious beer defies convention, presenting the velvety, creamy textures traditionally associated with stouts, yet captivating with a surprisingly pale appearance. Enriched with the infusion of vanilla pods and cocoa nibs, it delivers a sumptuous experience, unveiling silky vanilla notes and subtle hints of chocolate.

“It’s a pretty unique beer really..” said Ian Carson, Head Brewer, “it’s a beer type you don’t often see and when you explain it to people, they’re like “how’s that going to work?” Although there were some challenges during the brewing process, the end result is bang on – a beer with a rich, creamy, velvety flavour profile but with a surprisingly light, golden colour. It really is something to behold! And who knows, it might encourage more drinkers to explore dark beers more often”.
